A tree down.

A neighbor had a problem.  I suppose wind?  In any case, a tree dropped.  It was only, say, 30 or 40 feet, not heavily branched, and probably no more than ten inches, perhaps twelve, at it's thickest.  He had no chainsaw, or other saw.  He knew I did.  I am glad to have been called to work.  I'm not good with housework.  But work work I can and like to do.

I sawed it up rather quickly, without any troubles.  I saw where it would tip, sawed branches and the main to that point, then flipped it just right.  Cutting from then on was rather simple, if I had to be careful not to dive into the dirt.  Then I got to drive a loader for the first time.  No stick, anymore.  I even got to play with the scoop angle and height.  Yeah, that was worth the price of admission.

I'll admit, it wore me out, just a bit.  I haven't been doing much, as you may well know.  So this sort of effort was a bit of a push.  All good.  I really enjoy those sort of things.  Yap.  I may not be a working man, but the notion is there.  I would if I could.  Better?  Work as an engineer part time, r&d part time, and construction part time.  Yeah... that would be the thing.  Some parts of the year more one type than the other parts of the year.  If I was healthy it would be a partial plan.

Now, to figure out something for supper.  Good evening.
